Stay away from Conan.

The time recorded in Shinichi Kudo's death record coincides remarkably with the recent time when Kogoro Mouri suddenly became a famous detective!

Let's also consider what the police mentioned today—

That kid named Conan...

Having reached this point in his thinking, Matsumoto Kiyonaga felt he had grasped a crucial clue. The remaining task was to consider how to prove this, so that it could be used as a weapon against Gin…

……

"If there really were organized people present at the time, I'm afraid the fact that 'Shinichi Kudo' is still alive would definitely not have been kept from them..."

"In that case, we can't expect the other party to be unaware of what 'Shinichi Kudo is still alive' truly means. At this point, we must prepare for the worst..."

That night, in the Mouri Detective Agency, Conan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. The events of the day had instilled in him a profound sense of crisis.

Because if anyone in the organization realizes that there is any possibility that Shinichi Kudo, who should have been killed by Gin with drugs, is still alive, they will definitely investigate everyone related to Shinichi Kudo in order to find out the truth, even if the organization cannot be 100% sure of the truth.

If the organization starts using any means necessary to investigate those close to Shinichi Kudo, then everything will be over!
Therefore, I must prevent this from happening...

However, it seems that the organization is likely already aware of this matter. Should I try to find out the organization member hiding among the police?

No, it's a bit too late to do this now...

To get through this difficult time...

This time, it seems that the organization sent people to infiltrate the police force in order to investigate the serial murders. Such methods were unheard of before, and it must be said that this approach was extremely bold. Once their identities were exposed, the organization's actions would be completely revealed to the police.

Therefore, the fact that they were able to go to such lengths can only mean that what the organization was about to do had immense value, making it worthwhile for them to take such a risk.

So, from this perspective, if I can find out the truth about this matter first, is it possible for me to have the right to negotiate with the organization?

Ok……

It's hard to say, but it seems to be the only solution I can think of right now. What else can I do...?

Conan, deep in thought, recalled the events of the day, particularly the matter concerning Hondo Eisuke, which particularly caught his attention. After listening to Hondo Eisuke's words today, Conan was able to at least make a basic judgment about what Hondo's purpose was.

Thinking about it this way, the place where Rena Mizunashi is now, and the FBI agents currently operating in Japan...

Should I consider seeking their help?
……

"he died!"

As a shout, both distant and strangely familiar, echoed in his memory, Gao Yuan found himself in a private room of an internet cafe. He instinctively stepped out and, following the flow of people in the hallway, walked to the private room in front of it, guided by his recollection.

Here, there are corpses, bloodstains...

Without a doubt, at this moment Gao Yuan truly understood that through the "Wheel of Fate" prop, in conjunction with the "World" prop, what was originally just a dream reviewing the process of the case had been transformed into a real dream with a completely realistic physical sensation.

At this moment, Gao Yuan was certain that he had returned through his dream to the moment when he was in Osaka and encountered that incident in the internet cafe.

Looking at the dead man lying in front of him, Gao Yuan knew that the other party was a member of the organization, but he was already dead.

As the initial setting of this incident, the "Wheel of Fortune" rewinds back to this point in time, but for Takato in the present, this situation is not satisfactory, therefore...

The "world" item allows users to jump through time within this dream world by spending a bounty, up to a maximum of twenty-four hours.

Therefore, without hesitation, Gao Yuan, who had already made his decision, chose to deduct the bounty and return to the present moment, twenty-four hours earlier...

Thus, when Gao Yuan opened his eyes again, he found himself still in the private room of the internet cafe, and the time displayed on the computer screen was the day before the incident.

At this point, Gao Yuan, his expression stern, began fiddling with the computer without much hesitation—the identity information of the employee who had worked at this internet cafe before him was…

……

"Oh!"

The sound of forcefully slamming a hammer on the table.

In a private room at the internet cafe, the man stared at a strange software interface that, as usual, displayed a "failed to run" message, which made him impatient and angry.

What's going on? I've been trying to sneak a peek at some internal information through the internet cafe's intranet for the past few days, but I keep failing.
Somewhat skeptical, the man decided to restart the software again.

But just then, there was a knock on the door of the private room. Impatiently, the man put down his mouse, turned around, and asked in a blunt and indignant tone:

"Who?"

"network management."

"Simply," the person outside the door replied.

The man, not really interested in answering, casually asked:
"What's wrong? I didn't order any service."

"Really? Then... this bottle of 'gin,' wasn't it you who ordered it?"

Immediately, as the person outside uttered the word "Gin," the man's expression shifted from impatience to wariness and fear. His hands moved frantically as he removed the headphones from his head and asked nervously:

"what?"

"Open the door!"

However, showing no respect to the man, the person outside the door became utterly rude and began demanding that he open the door.

Despite his nervousness, after reviewing his recent actions and feeling that he should be alright, he was still somewhat wary and uneasy as he stepped forward and opened the door to the private room—

There stood Gao Yuan, the internet cafe manager, outside the private room.

Regarding Gao Yuan's identity, the man knew he was the new internet cafe manager because he had been coming here regularly, but...

What the other person just said indicates that their identity is...

"What, what's wrong..."

Looking at Gao Yuan, the man asked warily.

"Have you been wasting your time here all this time?"

With a questioning look on his face, Gao Yuan asked the other party this question.

Faced with this question, the man hurriedly offered an explanation—"No, no... I've been..."

As the man spoke, he subconsciously pointed to the computer screen, as if trying to explain something, but Gao Yuan immediately became impatient and interrupted him, saying:

"There's no need to waste time here. Leave this to me. If you need to talk to me about something else, come with me!"

Hearing Gao Yuan say this, the man, feeling uneasy, didn't doubt Gao Yuan and hurriedly nodded, following Gao Yuan out of the private room.

As the man left, Gao Yuan, still standing at the door of the private room, deliberately looked towards the ventilation vent above the room, his expression seemingly meaningful… (End of Chapter)
